patrick
another lovely day here in chicago. hope you're doing well. i was ill recently but am better now. things at work are basically good. i tried to look you up online a while back but without a last name the best i came up with was a 'patrick stoible' at some kind of biochem program at your university in chicago. i think that last name would make you german, which you have the face for, but i found stoible's pic on linkedin and he's not you and he's 'really into the earth.'
i'd like to come back to the store. it is really fucking annoying trekking to mcconalds three times a morning for coffee, it was especially arduous in the winter. i have insomnia, am up by 4, and have ocd (etc) so i can't use the burners in the apt to make coffee. i am a disaster, granted, but it would be really helpful to be able to get back in the store. i am finishing my book and it would be nice to have some quiet time out of the apt in the morning to work. i will behave.
check out the site, if you have time, it is funny, dark, and academic — you'll find it amusing, and there are some riffs on you in different spots that i think you'll appreciate.
start here -->
'it's totally cool to come back in the store, mike, we've missed you!' -->
if i don't respond with 'thanks for getting me back in the store,' that means i didn't get your msg and you'll have to try me at my berklee address which i can access here in chicago.
the site is a click and link trip so you'll have the best experience if you start with 'start here.'
in any case, say hi to the cute brown haired girl who recognized me at the danish girl screening at cc a few months ago. and even though he shoots me evil looks when he catches sight of me, say hi to brutus, i always liked him.
chicago is lovely this time of year. it's nice to be spending another year of my sabbatical here. it reminds me of lachrymose.

update, 5/30/16
​
patrick responded to the sign posts with a threatening "141" ( = that was a major fuck-up) response to the dial 9 exit survey — clever.
the guy is gay, has a girlfriend, is self-hating and homophobic, is probably potentially violent, and has a lame sense of humor. but the part that bothers me? — he's a dick too.
​
his detes:
​
name: patrick
​
works at: starbucks, 1304 commonwealth avenue boston, massachusetts 02134 — allston
​
schools at: boston university, department of biological chemistry molecular science ("mit")
​
home address: dighton street, brighton 02135
​
geo coordinates: -71.155098 42.348400
​
ip address: 75.68.164.82
​
system: windows, chrome
​
tell him i say hey!

​
notice, boston police:
if he tries to come after me — gay bashing — there's a pretty good paper trail, but for further evidence —
​
witnesses, with email correspondence:
​
dr. david mann, md, cambridge, massachusetts
​
dr daniel e johnson, phd, los angeles, california
​
dr lisa soccio, phd, los angeles, california
​
dr leanne gilbertson, phd, billings, montana
​
peter hobbs, toronto, canada
​
david cohn, quincy, massachusetts
​
the allston starbucks employees (they all know he's gay and homophobic (pretty obvious) and his relationship to me)
​
that said, i'm going to wager that he wouldn't jeopardize his career by fucking with me, but with this type it sometimes takes a prison term.
but, he probably realizes, if he came at me then everybody would know that he really is a faggot.
​
of course, if he forces himself to go to prison he'll be able to get fucked by as many guys as he wants. silver lining?
​
check, mate.

​
what a bad, pathetic scene. i'm embarrassed to even be part of it.
​
ps. not to worry, i won't be by the store. there's a guy who works there that i kind of dislike.
